Thanks for providing information on this useful tool, Chris.
I haven't seen this mentioned, but it does work with the 18-55 cinema zoom. I bought the lens knowing the cameras did not work with other manual focus lenses, but hoping the electronic contacts pass enough data to enable the feature. So happy it does! But I noticed you have to really nail the back focus setting before it is accurate. So some information from the lens seems to be used.
love this sharing. never seen any other utubers talking about this. thanks!
Hi There! I bought XS20 this past week, and honestly I’m currently struggling to get this camera to do what I want it to do. There’s not a lot of tutorials or guides to learn it. I found your channel and I see lot of great Fuji content but nothing specific to XS20. It would be reallly helpful if you could please make a detailed video to teach video AF on XS20 with all modes and functions. It’d be very helpful for lot of people like me
This is very helpful, thank you!
Something I didn't know that is in the X-T5! This is a great assistant for manual focusing in video mode and something I will definitely be using!
I tried the Hasselblad X2D earlier this week and it had a very similar feature on the stills shooting mode which I liked. Come on Fuji, lets have it on the X-T5 stills mode.
this is a very interesting feature that I didn't know about, thanks!
Amazing video very helpful
Thanks for sharing another greate video.
Wow! Thank you. I had no idea this meter was an option. This will be awesome for my manual focus real estate videos.
Thanks for sharing. I saw this feature in cannon. I was wishing when this will come in fuji. Hopefully we will soon see this in still photography. Recently I was doing Astro in dark night and manual was very challenging. This meter will be very handy in those times.
Right on time whooo!
hope they will add this handy feature to the still mode as well!

Yeah, not sure why this is video only. Suspect Fuji will add this for stills in the future. They also need to do what Nikon did on the Zf - eye/subject detection in manual focus.
Great feature!
Having HAL staring at me all the time is unnerving. 😊 Thanks for all the great videos. I’m learning a lot as I cycle through them.
That's great!! Never seen that!
Was wondering when you'd cover this! Been trying it on my x-h2s for a while. Love the feature!
Yep. the X-S20 have it too. Have tried and loved it, but did not tested with manual focus lenses without contacts - sad to see that it not works in this case, it is where it would be most useful.
I will join the party!! Have a restful weekend!!
☝🏽 Chris is the first person that Fuji should have given the Gfx 100 -2 to, for a review
Thank you, I hope you are ok. Regards from Spain.
Hi, thank you for your great content. It is very refreshing and direct. It would help me a lot (and others, I guess) if you'd mention UTC time instead of specific time applied to USA, only (unless your content is only aimed to USA viewers, in which case you are doing perfect). Cheers, mate.
Thank you you are the magician of settings😀 The fuji summit disappointed me a little I was expecting new lenses or new cameras from the X system.
Brilliant thanks. Hope your ok 👍🏻
Thanks 🤯
Hi! I've found you channel and I think its great. I am saving to get into the Fuji system. I have looked through your older vids, maybe I should say "in the process of". Lot's of truly helpful content! I have another system and your basic photo suggestions are a help regardless of system. As it's about principles we should use and skills to develop. One comparison I would like to see from you is this. XT5 image quality vs XT4. Comparison. 40mp with all the older lenses and no newer and try some 3rd party. I want to see sharpness and quality. I hear a lot about the old lenses make the 40 mp setting look fuzzy. They can't resolve 40 mp it's said. I know getting into the Fuji system that NEWER lenses won't and honestly may never be on my radar. Testing XT5 and XT4 with vintage lenses. If you have some. Would like to see that. An important test no one anywhere seems to have done. Compare XT5 images set to 20mp with XT4 images at 26mp. I think the difference may be minimal. I am trying to decide, obviously, between the cheaper XT4 and the XT5 with it's newer features. One thing that could maybe be a fast Friday. Isn't the XT5 supposed to have a mode that automatically behaves as a webcam when connected to a PC? No special software needed. Maybe show us how that works? Lastly, this feature on the XT5 is nice manual video focus assist but I want the XT5 series for the dials. I like my current camera but still after these years, I feel it's awkward with the whole PASM dial and so on. I honestly am not into video very much. Is there any photo assist tool that's similar for stills? Besides just the typical peeking. I'd be interested first in comparison of 20mp XT5 to 26mp XT4 images. Maybe others have a preference and can say. If the 20mp is close enough to the 26mp of the XT4, then maybe save longer and get the XT5. 40 mp is nice but I honestly don't NEED it. I am more interested in the XT5's newer features and of course it's getting software updates.which improve things. OH! WAIT!!! There is a video TEST comparison I do want to see. I do like to play with SlowMo video. 240 frames works well in XT4 but I saw some issues about increased noise and banding in some reviews a while back with the new sensors. I wonder if it's corrected now? I looked for other ways to contact you but there didn't seem to be any other than this. I normally do not ever sign into Goggle things so they can track and monitor my life. Thanks if you can get to any of those informative comparisons. Love your show and informative how tos!
GRANDE MISTER. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm working in Fujifilm optics Philippines Soo great and high tech camera
This looks like a great feature. Maybe they could add it to manual still mode to improve macrophotography.

Already using it for a week and its OK, sometimes im not sure if is really focus :D as I m moving with focus ring and the Fucus Meter doesnt change :D but yes... the shot is sharp.. very useful, hope i can get it on my x-t4 . WOrks well with Tamron 17-70
Nice feature, easier to see than focus peaking highlight. Home they add it for photography (at least Hasselblad and Canon offer this for photography).
Looks like an interesting feature. Wish it worked on still images. Is it tied to the phase detection or contrast like the focus peaking?
My favourite Bourbon
Works with fringers and even on AIS from nikon as well
This would be so great if it worked for the manual lenses... Or if we could at least make the color peaking a bit thicker and easier to see at a glance.
This is an interesting feature, but I do wish it would still flash green when a fully manual lens is attached and critical focus has been reached. I personally find focus by wire lenses to be really weird and finicky to use and I couldn't imagine relying on one for focusing during footage
such a shame it doesn't work in manual focus 😞 I'll ad it to my growing wishlist of firmware updates (65x24 crop, ability to customise the always on top display on X-H2 and now this!)
Canon has this on some of their R cameras for stills and video, I believe. Neat feature.

Canon did it right on their UI department. Best word when using their gears is comfy.
Please how to put Copyright with Fuji xt4? it should be easy but I can’t find the option to make it with my new body camera! Thank you for responding.
Hi Chris, I often shoot street with my XT5 and the 90mm f2 lens. I continually find it hard to get moving faces in focus. I shoot at 1/500. I have tried face and eye detection but not much luck. Any tips I can try? Nicholas
Does what the meter says match the saved footage? Yes, this is manual focus, but sometimes Fuji’s AF system tells fibs.
My Nikon DSLRs used to give me the Green Dot that told me that whatever I had under the active focus point was in focus and as I recall this worked great even with older Auto Indexed and modified AI manual focus lenses on my AF DSLR bodies. As much as I LOVE my Fuji cameras, the manual focus assist options with Fuji have always left me wishing that I had that definitive Nikon Green Dot available again. Even with my diopter, my 56 year old eyes have a VERY difficult time judging if my screen (with red highlights or digital fresnel simulation) is showing me an IN focus image or not. The green dot left no ambiguity at all. For this reason, I rarely use my MF lenses. on my Fujis for anything serious at all and that's a shame.
Hi! What about autofocus when shooting FLOG? It´s looking like in flog autofocus jumping between objects
Hi Chris, in my Fuji XH2, when I use a Fuji lens just after a non electronic contact 7 Artisan lens, I see the Apurture shows F0, after multiple on and off cycle and lens mount and unmount cycle it shows the Aperture. Is it normal ?
Hi I got question. Is it possible to see the number of the personnal WB whit the Xt-3. Like I do the WB it's ok, but I can't see if is 4300K or 3500K etc... When you work in video whit some lightning is frustrating. My sony a6500 (that I sell for past to fujifilm) show me that information, but not my fuji...
shame it'll not work with manual lenses it's also really interesting how it will work with Fuji macro lens in macro photo
Fuji could do with an update so it works in still mode
Do i have this on fuji h1???
Sir i hope you'll notice this 🙏 I have a problem on my xt3, while i am shooting (photo) it suddenly switching to video mode or sometimes on burst mode. What do you think why it is happening on my camera? Thank you so much in advance. God bless you
👍👍👍
Is that the new 18-55?
How can I switch focus back and forth between foreground and background subject while shooting a video on XS20? I tap on screen nothing happen, plssss help
👍
I’m planning to buy a fujifilm camera. Any recommendation Mr. Chris? I’m a beginner. Thanks.

Also, i love your videos. Very informative.
Ah man software gating :/ I can understand the AI features requiring a different processor (I guess) but something as cool and simple as a focus meter seems really silly to keep out of normal firmware :( but definitely a cool feature! Great video as always

Kaizen was a yesterday news it seems 😢
what about just buying normal camera with good af-c such as Sony / Canon ?
Interesting - so they have time to create such gimmicks but they don't have it to fix fundamental issues with AF and wide lenses at higher apretures?
Why isn't this on stills mode??
They need to update this to the X-T4 too but I guess it's never happening 😒
Fuji having their summit the same day Apple is announcing the new cameras on the iPhone 15!
It’s crazy how the tides of tech sweep past so fast. A good number of people get to watch less and less of these videos recently. Those with the X-T4 and prior cameras now feel like great candidates for the museums 😅. As contents are becoming less and less relevant to us 😂.
First.
